Today, we’ll take it easy, a mere 25 km! We got to our destination before lunch. Thank God! The three shelters at Camp Giroux are under tonnes of snow! Watch your step! Oops! We’re waist-deep in snow! No lack of snow here. Our braves, the men and male teenagers, shared the four shovels to clear the entryway. To top it all, what better than a good old fashioned snowball fight!!! Hey! The guys even fashioned a stairway in the snow! Now, that’s class!
We can use all three shelters, one of which is our meeting place. There, we have lunch, dinner and play games in front of the fireplace. But, as luck will have it, the lavatories are in the other building. So, it’s “dress-undress” time! After lunch, we take to the lake. It’s easy to speed in a straight line on a lake. All had great fun! Nature healing starts with this sunny afternoon on this huge frozen surface. The site is heavenly. Like in a movie. But little did we know the best was yet to come.
